Horses for Nevada.

Nevada is we'll adapted to raising
horses and the ouly question one need
ask is what style of animal is the most
saleable. Tue runty little scrubs that
result from letti ng animals take their
own chances AS the Indians do, will
never be profitable here or anywhere
else. Outside Of race horses there are
three kinds just as easily raised az
scrubs, and they are always saleable.
The best is the large handsome carriage
horses that are sought for by city people
another is a heavy aud strong draft
animal; and the third is the stocky,
medium sized, active and uLtiring COW
